Hi to all, I'm a quite happy owner of a orbit2 (aka Polaris).

A few days ago I was wondering in a used marcket and I found a used Kaiser at a price that it was impossible a year ago.

I need a second mobile phone and I'm wondering if kaiser is still a wotrh buy, now that there are G1 and G2.

So I ask my question to the Kaiser community....

Thanks to any suggestion
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Yes Kaiser\Tilt still worth buy @ good price...

Probably not going to get an unbiased view in a Kaiser\Tilt forum section :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mormy:
Yes, you're probably right, it's difficult that I could have an unbiased answer, but I think that kaiser owner could be disappointed of their device or are looking forward to the new tech, maybe without lack of driver :p

And I find it at 200 euros...is it a good price?? I think so, maybe because I buy my polaris a year ago at 400 :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] esmith:
I had the Tilt over a year ago and sold it but just bought another one on eBay days ago for around 190 US.

Worth the buy to me...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Totally agree will possibly find some unhappy Kaiser users :p

Not sure on the currency value of £ to € in UK £150 - £200 is a good price, the Kaiser is still a very good device, driver issue really not a bigee "well not to me"

Also many ROMs to choose from and the lovely Tilt Keyboard only on TP2 too.

Yep i'm biased :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dirtydizzle:
I too am biased. Bought mine on Ebay a year ago for $275US and with all the ROMS to choose from nowadays it hard not to be happy with it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thomasw234:
My Nokia N95 recently died, and so I went hunting on eBay for a new phone (I wanted a Windows Mobile device this time).

I came across the Kaiser at £125 buy it now, so bought it. This was about 2 weeks ago, and I'm planning on putting it back up on eBay now :(

It's a nice phone, but it's not without it's problems that really annoy me.

The keyboard - I much preferred the number pad on my N95 with the T9 predictive text. The Kaiser has T9, but you still have to use the QWERTY keyboard

No 3.5mm headphone socket. I bought an adapter, and after 4 days of use it fell to pieces this morning.

Stylus - I've lost the pen once already, but found it again in the library.

Crashes - I'm running the Ultimate X V2 ROM, and so far today it's crashed 3 times on me today

No graphics drivers - means I can't play graphics accelerated games, and normal games become laggy

Games become laggy even moreso when you touch the screen whilst playing

If you receive a text and can't view it straight away, if the phone is in your pocket all the touchscreen gets pressed and opens loads of programs

I'm sure there's more but I can't think of it right now!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] langers1:
I picked mine up for £90 on ebay which included the case, spare battery and docking station, bargin or what.

Thomas, I changed from a N95 also to this and I wouldnt go back, try a different ROM, Im using Chinhe wm 6.5F 21501. WM 6.5 is so much better then 6.1 and the Manila 2d interface is excellent. Add a few extra apps like youtube, MyPlayer (BBC I-Player) and shed loads of other things and you will have a excellent device, drop me a pm if you like and ill let you know how i set mine out and you will love it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] typo:
It all comes down to preference. Personally, I wouldn't buy another tilt for two reasons: VGA screens are MUCH nicer for web browsing, and the recessed screen is substantially less finger-friendly.

Aside from those two issues, though, it's a pretty solid device. I think the Touch Pro is a pretty solid step up, but the Tilt might be worth it depending on price.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] goldenu:
I got rid of my Kaiser when I bought both a G1 and a Raphael: G1 is gone and I bought another Kaiser. The Kaiser is cheap (around $165 on ebay if timed right), still more powerful than most phones, super-reliable and strong. Add in the fact that you can unlock them for free and all the software available and this one is sticking with me until it dies. Honestly, the Raphael's screen is nice, but it really doesn't FEEL any faster than the Kaiser. So in the end, all you get is more ram, a sharper screen, and a G-sensor...for $150 more than a Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thomasw234:
:eek: £90 is a bargain!

My Kaiser was on Orange originally, and although it's now unlocked, on any ROM except the Orange (or so it seems) it sends every text twice and charges me double!

I'll have a look at the I-Player software... but I tried Manilla 2D and didn't really like it that much (I seem to have contrasting opinions to everyone else here :D).

Now I've got a stable ROM running I must say it is growing on me, especially as I enjoy developing software in C#, and Windows Mobile has the .NET Compact Framework.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] langers1:
Well im currently running Chinhe wm 6.5 21501 v3 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=509576) . It is quite a lite package but so far it is very stable add to that the Manilla 2d thats pre installed and add the 'New HTC' skin it looks sooooo nice, ive showed it to all my mates including IPhone owners and they have been blown away. I can highly recommend the last FM app (Uk owners only) for live streaming music.

When using the iplayer (myplayer) u need to tweak it to use the steaming player that comes preinstalled.

Ive attached a few goodies for you all, enjoy ya phones, I was a Nokia fan for for 12 years but now im a HTC convert.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bluedragon1971:
I just tried to sell my AT&T Tilt on eBay, not once but twice with a starting price of $150 and didn't get a single bid! If anyone here is interested in it, you can PM me or e-mail me at roadwarriorcomputers@gmail.com

It has a few scuffs, and a piece of the trim by the SIM holder is broken off, but it works fine (just have to be careful when you are putting the SIM in).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] langers1:
Thats where you went wrong, starting at $150 way to high, if im surfing ebay for something I watch Items and bid at the last min, like what most people do. Start at 99c you will get a hell of alot more interest then $150.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nmn.shah:
i have the tmobile kaiser since more then 18 months now, quite happy with it. however the newer models from HTC seem to be better and even the latest symbian's from nokia would be worth a try.

depends more on preference / usage / pricing / etc.

you guys in uk get excellent deals with your service providers...

so check everything b4 u decide.

Has the zoom bar on the right side of the screen? I had it once before, and hate the fact that I have touch the magnifying glass at the bottom in order to zoom.

Sorry, just re-read your post - my bad. I haven't seen that feature on any of the Opera builds I've used to date. The ZoomSlider configurations are kept in three places: standard_skin.zip, Opera .INI(s), registry.

In some builds, all three are required, others ... variations of the above. Guess the folks at Opera haven't made a firm commitment yet. ;)

If you can point me to a version that has ZoomSlider on the right, I can have a look to see if it can be ported up to a newer build.

Hi folks, just been reading the posts regarding opera, I seem to remember having that option on a Cooked Rom called PDACorner Ultimate. I think it was his version 2 of this Rom,but that was when I had my Kaiser (R.I.P) so I cant be sure which build it was. Im sure if you contact the chef (abusalza), he can give you more info.

I believe you want 15529. You zoom by sliding up or down on the right side of the screen. Also this one has scroll acceleration which I like. Good build. No dpad wheel zooming though. No g sensor rotation either I think. Doug
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] telegraph0000:
Yes, that's what I said...however, it insists on starting up automatically after a soft reset, and I found out the hard way that leaving it running in the background and then turning the phone turned off will lead to a 2% battery level first thing in the morning...

I'm working on a few other kitchen porting projects at the moment.

Would it be possible for you gents to post the

[Touch HD General] kamilyo:
The problem is that the phone is suddenly becoming extremly hot anytime it is charging or turned on. If I turn it off and let it cool down and then turn back on it becomes very hot in just few minutes. The battery after all night charging will discharge in 30 minutes max if i don't touch the phone, if I do anything or softreset it will discharge in immiedietly. If it has 95 % before softreset after it will be be like 5% and giving me alert about low battery level. Charging process is also much slower than normal, after 5 hours it will be around 50%. Before it was up to 100% form 5% in 4 hours max. This is all about power problems that made me think it could be battery dying... but propably not the case :/ Plus the battery doesn't heat up only the shiny black part around usb port is the place from where all the heat comes.

The other problem is that active sync or usb mass storage connection cannot be established. The computer doesn't see the phone at all. Moreover it will always charge the phone via usb even if I disable charging via usb in power options.

I tried a couple of hard resets and reinstalled newest official rom available on htc europe website from nbh file on a card (since usb is not working and I had spl 1.56 from that rom on the device already) This didn't help.

I am pretty sure now it is not a software fault or mechanical injury :P since I've never dropped the phone and always had it in this htc sock. No water contact was ever possible. It was just a regular day when this happend and I noticed it when the phone was in my pants pocket and started to burn my leg. Think it is some hardware issue related to usb port or anthenas since this is the source of heat.

Already returned my HD for fixing, but just thought I would let everybody know what happend to me. Anybody had a problem like that with their phone or maybe knows what is going on with this crazy Touch HD device?
[Touch HD General] jake_tenfloors:
My HD has started doing this in the last 10 days!

The black shiney part is get way hot, even when its not even on charge!

It wouldn't connect to active sync but would just as a disk drive.

The battery is running down to about 60% from 100 in less than 1.5 hours with no use!

I've never dropped the phone, spilt anything on it or anything.

I've hard reset it twice, and it was back to normal for a day, then started doing it again so i turned the phone off and charged it over night, was normal for about 5 hours after turning it back on, and now its started doing it again! I'm going to try the test on HTC's website to test if its a faulty battery but this doesn't explain why its getting so hot????

Let me know how yours turns out, i'm going to call orange insurance and see what they say!

Anyone know what happened to weatherbug? I was re-installing some apps and cannot find Weatherbug. It was an app that I actually made use of on a day to day basis. :(
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
Sometimes apps leave the market for various reasons, either the author no longer wished to distribute the app [in that manner], or it in some way violated or was perceived to violate the google TOS. Because of this, if you are planning to wipe your phone, it is a good idea to make a backup of all apps you don't want to lose.
[G1 Apps and Games] rrstx:
Found it odd that it would be removed after having an update just last month. I had done a backup using nandbackup as well as using the one that is built into Astro. I'm at work and the backups are at home, moved them off the SD to my computer. Was hoping to get it installed after updating to the newest JF build.
[G1 Apps and Games] giantcrazy:
Maybe they're just prepping a new version compatible with the 1.5 release?

Their site doesn't seem to indicate that they've taken it offline:

http://weather.weatherbug.com/mobile/android.html

I didn't realize there was a recent update - I would've grabbed it. I'm on 1.0.498.
[G1 Apps and Games] dwang:
hopefully thats the reason why its gone from the market.

I love weatherbug, but its still a bit buggy especially in terms of the temperature in the notification bar.
[G1 Apps and Games] rrstx:
I would think they would keep the original version for those that have not upgraded and release a 1.5 update separate. I did not have a problem running it on the Haykuro 1.5 version I installed prior to updating to the JF/LucidREM update.
[G1 Apps and Games] Master Loon:
ok..ok..I am not crazy then

I tried to look for it yesterday and I guess it was all in vain. I do hope if comes back. It worked ok for me on the 1.5 versions.
[G1 Apps and Games] giantcrazy:
It worked for me on Haykuro's 1.5HR3 as well, but remember - these guys are doing testing against the official releases, and they're probably testing in a lot more depth than we are. Could be they found something, and decided to push out one app that's compatible with both 1.1 and 1.5.

Just a hunch. I'm thinking if they willingly removed Weatherbug from the market they'd have removed that page from their website as well.
[G1 Apps and Games] Beast84:
They released weatherbug elite on the iphone so maybe they're getting ready for this on android. the elite is 99 cents tho
[G1 Apps and Games] Master Loon:
ok

Weather bug....the loon misses ya!

I will pay.
[G1 Apps and Games] bfreexxx:
I ran Weatherbug earlier today (I use it almost everyday) and the ad banner at the top was about Weatherbug Elite. I'm guessing they pulled the free app, which is beta (I believe), so that we can all pay for the Elite version. Yay!... not.

Well, I hope that means they will take off the ad banner. It was a little annoying.

Can someone post the .apk for those who don't have (and want) Weatherbug (beta)?
[G1 Apps and Games] rschuman90:
yes i really want this please!
[G1 Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:

[G1 Apps and Games] dmm0816:
yea me too...
[G1 Apps and Games] AbsoluteDesignz:
damn, can't update until someone gets their hands on it and makes the notifications white....

notice it doesn't say beta anymore.
[G1 Apps and Games] jayaustn:
It worked for me too, but as soon as I would power on the phone I would get a force close from WeatherBug (without opening the app). After that, everything runs smoothly.

So, not like it's a huge inconvenience, but maybe that will be addressed.
[G1 Apps and Games] chicojd:
Weatherbug was in BETA release. I looked on the market and the BETA has been removed but there is a free version there which works just fine on JFv1.5
[G1 Apps and Games] Master Loon:
Hell yeah.

Works nicely on jf 1.5

Never knew how much I would miss those #'s in th top left

"Sigh"

I'm good...I'm good!

I just want to spank them and tell them to never leave me again
[G1 Apps and Games] giantcrazy:
I don't see anything that would indicate a paid-for version - just looks like regular ole' WB to me.

Is it 1.0.774 that you guys got as well?
[G1 Apps and Games] borodin1:
They updated it so you can choose color of status bar notifications as far as I could tell. I guess a lot of people complained that they couldn't see temp with dark themes.

Hello World!

Does anyone know how to generate "No SIM" error.

I mean when you turn on your device in asks for the PIN and you cancel - you go to emergency calls only mode.

Actually I want to go to this mode.

But when PIN is already entered.

It seems we suppose to disconnect the current GSM network and cancel PIN again, but how can we do it programmaticly? (Win Mobile 5, 6?)

The very thing I want to do is to emulate the mode when there is no SIM in the phone (but SIM shoud actually exist).

Would be very thankful for any help.

(very important for my university research).

P.S. Not sure that RIL or SIM API can do that.

For those familiar with it, what do you know about DREADIAG.nbh?

The image I have is locked to a CID. I have a US phone and the image's CID does not match. So, this diag image is either for UK phones or is internal to HTC to keep the general public from using it. I had to use a goldcard image to load the diag on my retail G1.

Every time the diag tries something with my radio it hangs and I have to press end to cancel that part of the test. The diag must use the radio firmware currently flashed to the device ad the diag image is only about 321k and the radio image is much larger (~8967k zipped).

I will try not to pollute this thread with details of the problem I'm having but I think it's due to an issue with some G1's and firmware < RC33, perhaps the radio. My phone hangs on boot (I'll add a link to my other thread).

Some other things I'm wondering about this image:

-Various use of RUU (Rom Update Utility) from HTC to manipulate the phone.

-Is there away to get a fastboot interface with it? That could lead to an alternate rooting method.

I will followup with a link to DREADIAG.nbh and the version # of what I have, and the service manual which contains some info about it. If you're going to experiment with it don't mess around with the tty interface you can connect to or you mar brick your phone (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=487945 ).

Thanks,
